Further thought;
I'm certain the Federal Governments 'Style Manual for authors, editors and
printers.' would have something to say on it.
It looks like I can borrow it from a local library.

Many church names in Australia have names containing 'Saint' followed by a persons name these are are commonly abbreviated 'St'.
I expand these out to Saint. I think that is correct in the English language.
I don't think the alt_name should carry the abbreviation, nor an expanded version.
For St Leonards .. there are two Saint Leonards
Saint Leonard of Port Maurice 1676-1751
Saint Leonard of Noblac -559
Saint Peter is well known ... well one of them at least. :)
---------------- Following a UK example?
Having a bet both ways ? In the UK a search on St Leonard lead me to
Node: Drayton Saint Leonard (21268304) - Saint - centre of the place.
Relation: Drayton St. Leonard (1864544)- St. - parish boundary.
Yes these are both the same area.
So .. for the suburbs/towns/villages at least it can be done both ways .. without using alt_name.
